Typhoon Maysak’s floods in southern China result in a death toll that rises to 159, with 10 people still missing, according to multiple outlets citing Chinese authorities’ updates. The flooding follows intense rainfall that the typhoon brings to areas including Guangxi.
The figures are reported as the region tallies losses after the disaster in early July. One outlet notes the death toll increases from an earlier official count of 39 to 159 as authorities update the numbers, with the update occurring after a period of several weeks. Another outlet describes the broader impact as the storm and resulting flooding affect millions of people in the southwest, citing state reporting that the affected population exceeds 1.65 million. All sources link the casualties to the same event, but they differ slightly in how they frame the timing and the scale of official updates.
